Personal Description:

My name is Evelyne , I am 44 years old. I stay in Erskine and have done for the past 24 years. I have a son who is 10 years old and a new puppy who is 10 weeks old. I love helping people understand things and love learning myself. I know it can be daunting when you dont understand something and enjoy the feeling when the learner finds themselves progressing.

Tutoring Experience:

I have worked in education for the past 14 years. I mainly teach 14 - 80 years of age at College level. Through my masters I am looking at primary and secondary aged children and how they learn using the curriculum for excellence. I keep up to date with all information coming from SQA, so this allows me to bring what is required to pass exams into the home.

Tutoring Approach:

I like to find out first what the learner knows and how they prefer to learn as each individual has their own learning style. I am well organised so once I know what it is the learner requires I will adapt my lesson to help them better.

EvelyneFrom Fiona (5/5): (GCSE English)Evelyne has given my son a whole new outlook in English as a 4th year subject. At last he is working to the standard he should always have been working at and "getting it". Her friendly, non-pushy approach has worked perfectly with him. She has a wealth of experience and I have no doubt she would be able to deal with any problem at any level in many subjects.

Reply from Evelyne: Thsnk you Fiona. You are a wonderful family and a joy to work with . Your son always works hard and has a great sound knowledge. It's a pleasure.

EvelyneFrom Sheila (5/5): (GCSE Maths)Evelyne has been tutoring my granddaughter who is in secondary school and my grandson who is in Primary 5 for some weeks now and all of us have nothing but praise for Evelyne.

Evelyne has helped my granddaughter who is in 3rd Year so much with Maths and English as well as science subjects and History and it is wonderful to see my granddaughter's knowledge and confidence grow in all of these subjects. Evelyne has a sound knowledge of what is required of pupils in terms of the Curriculum for Excellence both in primary and secondary schools. My grandson did not enjoy schoolwork at all but with encouragement from Evelyne has begun to take much more interest.

These are the words of my grandchildren "Evelyne is a good teacher because she is patient, explains things well and is kind"

Thank you Evelyne.

Reply from Evelyne: Thank you for your kind words Sheila. I must say that it as absolute please to work with both your grand children. You have made e feel very welcome and it is greatly appreciated. Evelyne

EvelyneFrom Gillian (5/5): (GCSE English)Evelyne has really clicked with my daughter and looks at different ways in which she can encourage her to learn. We have had only had two sessions with Evelyne to date but she is very approachable which is good for a child who is apprehensive about asking her school teacher for help.

Reply from Evelyne: Breagh is a very bright, highly intelligent young girl. She works hard and has a good insight as to what is required to pass her exams.

EvelyneFrom Sarah (5/5): (GCSE Maths)Evelyne has been working with my daughter Sarah for a few weeks now and already we see a real difference. Evelyne takes time to listen to Sarah and understand not only her problems with maths but also her as an individual. Sarah is building real confidence in what was her weakest subject and no longer dreads her maths homework. She looks forward to seeing Evelyne every week.

Reply from Evelyne: Sarah is a wonderful, talented young girl. She is a pleasure to work with and is becoming more confident every week. It is my pleasure to work with such an enthusiastic, committed and bright individual.

EvelyneFrom Stephanie (5/5): (GCSE English)Evelyne has been great help this past year with my intermediate 2 English. I was in a class that was deteriorating my English knowledge unknowingly until i sat my prelim which i failed. This is when i decided to contact Evelyne. She got me a B in my final exam which i am ecstatic about. I will be continuing with her help in both my higher English and Intermediate 2 maths this year. Thank you for all your help!!

Reply from Evelyne: Stephanie you are a pleasure to help. You are very talented and bright. It was just as wonderful for me when you got your results. Hope to see you soon. Evelyne

EvelyneFrom Nasreen (3/5): (GCSE Maths)Only saw Evelyn twice was friendly my daughter didn't understand her way of teaching maths she said she would email maths info but didn't not had any contact with her since May

Reply from Evelyne: As you mentioned I only meet with Nasreen twice (for one hour each time). Nasreen was working well through the maths work .There was no mention about emailing information, as I would have without question. On my second visit it was only Nasreen that I saw and she said that she would contact me with the next day that she was available. I do wish Nasreen well with her exam results and should have contacted you directly. Kind regards Evelyne

EvelyneFrom Josseph (5/5): (Secondary English)We have set up a meeting with Evelyne and my granddaughter to arrange tuition. Many thanks for your help.

Reply from Evelyne: Your welcome Jo. Your granddaughter seems a very intelligent young girl. I look forward to working with her.

EvelyneFrom Gail (5/5): (Secondary English)Evelyne has been a breath of fresh air to our family, and we all highly recommend her. She put her heart and soul into helping my son with his English and Maths, Evelyne truly cares about her students and getting the best results for them. We need more teachers in the world like Evelyne as she is a true inspiration to all children who need added support, she has been dedicated and caring towards my son and we cant thank her enough for all the hard work and the confidence she has instilled into my child.

Reply from Evelyne: Thank you Gail, Your boy is a credit to you (as the three of them are!). He worked extremely hard. I can only guide the learner, he did all the hard work himself. It was a pleasure to work with him. Good luck in all your exams (although I know you will be great!).

EvelyneFrom Johann (5/5): (Primary Maths)Evelyne has been fantastic with Johann. I am already seeing a difference in her maths in 3 weeks. Her confidence is building. Evelyne is very reliable and is building a good relationship with Johann. If OK with Evelyne we see this being long term. Johann has been better at her maths in school and her class teacher commented that she sees an improvement in her. She is starting to understand topics in maths that she struggled with before. Thanks Evelyne. Ann and JoJo

Reply from Evelyne: Thanks Ann and JoJo. You know I only show the way It's JoJo that does all the hard work. It is a pleasure to work with JoJo as she is so enthusiastic and such a wonderful clever and great girl.
